There are two types of child custody — physical and legal:

• Physical custody refers to where the child lives.
• Legal custody refers to decision-making authority over important aspects of your child’s life.

When one parent has physical custody, the other is typically granted parent time (commonly known as visitation) privileges. Parent time schedules can be highly detailed, specifying where the child spends weekends, holidays, summer vacations and other special days.

How custody is determined depends upon many factors, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to child custody and parent time. The guiding principle in these cases is protecting the best interests of the child.
